There were 42 Legacy Projects approved this round, one of which is in Allen County.<\/p>\n<p>Select items that were in existence at the time of Indiana Statehood from the DAR Relic Collection will be on display at the Allen County Public Library from January 7 through March 31. Visitors of all ages and backgrounds who love American history will enjoy seeing these items. Some items on exhibit include the key from the Old Fort in Fort Wayne. There will also be a watch that was carried by a soldier during the Revolutionary War on display, as well as a candlestick holder used by George Washington in his camp during the war. Each item on display will have a description and the name of the person or family who donated the item to the DAR Relic Collection.<\/p>\n<p>If your organization would like to create a Legacy Project for the Bicentennial, please contact your local county coordinator, Curt Witcher, at cwitcher@acpl.com. Legacy Project applications are considered for approval at every meeting of the Indiana Bicentennial Commission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Indiana Bicentennial Commission<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Indiana Bicentennial Commission is a fifteen-member body, chaired by Becky Skillman and Lee Hamilton, charged with overseeing the planning and execution of a statewide celebration for Indiana&#8217;s 200th birthday.
